A continuing love of feminine details and an increasing need for practicality in dress came together in the graceful lines of our Armistice Blouse, and was enhanced by a soft delicate fabric and lace trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe back of the blouse extends over the shoulders to meet the lightly gathered front, and gathers at the center back waist into a self-fabric tie or ribbon, which encircles the waist to tie in front. The long collar falls softly over a center panel, or vestee, forming a deep rectangular neckline. Tiny buttons close the blouse on the left side. Long set-in sleeves gather into wide turned- back cuffs. Folkwear maintains the traditional curved hemline that is slightly shorter in back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eView A is made of plain fabric; a soft cotton print would be lovely.  View B is trimmed with lace at the edges of the collar, cuffs, and vestee, which is may also be decorated with narrow tucks.  Handwork notes inside the pattern cover include optional drawn-thread work and designs and instructions.  You may make it as simple or elaborate as you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eThe PDF pattern has instructions, drawn thread work techniques and files for copy shop (36” and A0), print at home (A4 and 8.5”x11”).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested fabrics: \u003c\/strong\u003eLightweight fabrics such as gauze, batiste, voile, georgette, or other light cottons; silk, rayon, or blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEra: Edwardian, 1910s\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1694\/7861\/files\/210-armisticeblouseydg.pdf?16653493498282843498\"\u003eYardage chart (.pdf)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLEARN MORE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/210-armistice-blouse-made-for-everyday-all-summer-long?_pos=3\u0026amp;_sid=0ceff0a05\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eHow to make a simple short-sleeved pullover version \u003c\/a\u003e(we love it!)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/the-210-amistice-blouse-history?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=0ceff0a05\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eHistory of the Armistice Blouse\u003c\/a\u003e - a symbol for change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folkwear","offers":[{"title":"PDF","offer_id":46456839536839,"sku":"000230-001309","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Printed","offer_id":46456839569607,"sku":"000230-001309-Printed","price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/3514\/7097\/files\/replic-210-Armistice-Blouse-rev.jpg?v=1777212798","url":"https:\/\/empiremakespace.com\/products\/210-armistice-blouse","provider":"Empire Make Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
